Have Bixby play music on your Galaxy phone

Bixby Voice is your preferred AI assistant because it's always helping you out. And did you know that it can also double as a DJ? Just say a voice command and Bixby will start playing all of your favorite songs from Spotify, Samsung Music, or another music app on your Galaxy phone or tablet.

Note: Spotify may not be available with certain Galaxy A series phones, Galaxy A series tablets, or carriers. Samsung Music will be used instead if Spotify is unavailable.

Have Bixby play music on your Galaxy phone

Note

If your device doesn't have a dedicated Bixby button, press and hold the Side button to launch Bixby Voice. The Side button can also be remapped.

Play music with Spotify

On newer Galaxy devices, Spotify is integrated into Bixby! This will make it easy to pull up and play all of your favorite Spotify playlists.

To link Bixby to your Spotify account, first make sure you have Spotify installed and that you are logged into your account.
Press and hold the Bixby button or Side button to call Bixby, and then say "Play music.”
Bixby will ask for permission to connect to your Spotify account. Review the information, and then tap AGREE. Once you do, Bixby and Spotify will be officially linked.
Whenever you give a music command, Bixby will perform it. For example, you can call Bixby and say, "Play jazz music" or "Next song."

Play music from other apps

If you prefer Samsung Music, YouTube Music, or Amazon Music, Bixby still works with them. Open your desired music app, call Bixby, and say something like "play," "next song," or another simple instruction - Bixby will perform the command.

However, when you say "Play music" or give Bixby a command with a specific song title, artist, or genre, Spotify will automatically open, even if you have another music app opened. Make sure you are careful about how you phrase music commands.

Note

When playing music through your device's speakers, this feature is only supported on certain devices due to performance limitations. For models that support the feature, you can turn it on or off by tapping Menu (the three horizontal lines), and then tapping Settings. If this feature is turned on, your battery will drain faster. Deviations in sound recognition may occur depending on your speaker volume or where your device is placed. If Bixby isn't responding properly to your voice, try again in a quieter environment or lower your music volume.
